Steelers unveil new throwback jersey

For their 80th season in the NFL and the first season of the NFL’s partnership with Nike, the Steelers have retired their recent alternate uniform and unveiled a new throwback ensemble, from 1934.

It features black numbers in white rectangles, over a collection of black and gold horizontal stripes. (Some Seahawks fans will say it reminds them of the jerseys that the officials should have been wearing during Super Bowl XL.)

With the new/old jerseys will be decidedly non-Nike tan-colored pants. The Steelers will ditch the yellow helmets, at least for a year, wearing their black helmets.

With that uniform, I will take the Steeler fans up on their offer to have the team leave the league and to start the SFL. Wow, what an awful uniform. The 4 people alive to remember it will enjoy it though.

I think this is just ridiculous enough to be awesome. Whenever the 49ers do throwbacks you can hardly tell because they have barely changed jerseys over the last 400 years, but this is somewhat entertaining.

Ha ha ha ha… those are hideous!! Thank you for finally FINALLY being the first NFL team to release a jersey more hideous than those infamous neon green jerseys our team vomited out a few years ago. THANK YOU!!!

Harsh bro, check out this link and notice the drastic changes: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/49ers_Unis.gif

You know, I thought it was kind of goofy when the Browns basically said screw it and dumped every jersey but their away ones last season but now I understand. They were probably presented with this idea and was like “we’d rather just not have a home or alternate jersey if it’s going to be brown and orange stripes”.

Good lord this jersey is UGLY. They’re going to look like the Pittsburgh Honey Bee’s.

Congrats Steeler’s organization, you have just brought back one of the most hideous uniforms ever created. Dear God, those uni’s are f-ing terrible. I would be embarrassed if my team chose to wear something like that.

Couldnt agree more skinsfan4. Maybe the Penguins sould wear these tomorrow night for when then get their butts kicked by the Flyers. Then the Pens throw a temper tantrum they can just haul them right back to Sh!%sburgh n throw them in jail.

Although I’m sure they will makes tons of money off of these, I’m not looking forward to seeing a bunch of yinzers at the Steeler game wearing cheap counterfeits of it (which I’m sure will be readily available well before the Steelers actually get these to market)

They aren’t throwback jerseys. Those are throw up jerseys. The only thing those rags are good for is changing the oil in your vehicle. Then incinerate them. I like the alternative uniforms they had with the yellow helmets.

Now nobody can’t talk about how ugly the Packers 1929 Throwback jerseys are…this new Steelers throwback Ugliest looks much worse than the Packers throwback…Packers throwback doesn’t even compare to how Hideous these jerseys are LOL!

Wow…dare I say worst jersey in the NFL? I have an addiction for buying jerseys and have several steelers jerseys…this is one that will never grace my collection. The old throwbacks were great…these are hideous

Caption at the bottom of the screen will say “Jailbreak!” as the players leave the huddle and the film is speeded up on screen. Then all these guys in prison stripes, herky jerk around on the screen a bit before they all end up in a pile on the ground. Finally a stern man with a moustache and a whistle (“Tweet!”) will admonish the pile and point off into the distance.

Not a Nike fan, but this has nothing to do with them. The Rooneys chose to use the 1934 jersey as this year’s throwback for the team’s 80th anniversary. They’ll only wear them for two games. The socks are kind of growing on me. But just because I’d wear them to sleep on a cold winter’s night doesn’t mean I want to see them on my football team.

I can’t imagine why any fan would deny the team’s past. To me, the fact that our team didn’t win a playoff game for the first 40 years of its existence is one of the more interesting parts of its history. That just makes the 70s story more powerful.

Dude, you’re a fan of the Browns, Ravens, or Bengals, and bitter over the Steelers’ success of the last 40+ years. That’s why you chose your screen name and why you mouth off on all our threads. Didn’t you know? We feed on that stuff.

The uniforms are ugly but give me a break haters. The first forty years of our franchise was terrible? Who cares I wasn’t even alive in the 30’s 40′ 50’s and 60’s who cares. We still have the most superbowls and are a playoff team every year
